Culture, colour & Connection
A Women’s Tour Through Rajasthan and Beyond
There is a saying that once you have visited India, it never truly leaves you. I feel this deeply. My love affair with this incredible country runs strong. It is not just the colour, chaos, or spice that capture my heart, but the people. Warm, generous, and endlessly fascinating. Every journey through India feels like being welcomed home by old friends, each with a story to share.
Over the years, I have had the privilege of leading groups of wonderful women on India tours designed for women who want real connection and authentic cultural experiences. We explore India not as tourists but as learners, travellers, and friends. My trips are not about rushing from monument to monument. They are about slowing down and meeting India face to face — its people, its traditions, and its extraordinary creative spirit.
From the textile workshops of Rajasthan to the narrow alleys of Jaipur where artisans hand-carve and hand-print beautiful fabrics, I take my ladies deep into the manufacturing world of India. We visit block printing studios, textile workshops, and clothing factories where garments are designed and produced for global export. This behind-the-scenes access is one of the highlights of my women’s cultural tours in India, offering a rare look into India’s remarkable craftsmanship.
We spend time in local villages, meeting families who still create using age-old techniques passed down through generations. There is something magical about watching block printers work, seeing fabric transformed into art, and witnessing the pride in these artisans’ hands. And of course, there is always time for shopping — from vibrant bazaars and colourful markets to hidden boutiques known only to locals. These moments make our India shopping tours for women extra special.
No trip to India is complete without diving into its food culture. One of our favourite experiences is cooking with Sushma, a talented local chef and dear friend, in her family home. We chop, stir, and laugh together before sharing a meal bursting with unforgettable flavours. Many nights, we stay in heritage hotels and traditional homestays, where every corner tells a story and every stay feels personal.
And then there is Rajasthan — the Land of Kings. Here we wander through ancient forts, step into royal palaces, and watch the sun set over golden desert landscapes. Rajasthan is breathtaking, emotional, and filled with history. It is the heart of many of my women’s India tours, and it never fails to leave an imprint on every traveller.
My tours are a celebration of everything that makes India extraordinary: its creativity, craftsmanship, culture, and people. Each itinerary is hand-picked and thoughtfully curated to offer authentic India experiences for women travellers who want something deeper than a standard group tour.
This is not a typical package holiday. It is a journey of connection, laughter, learning, and wonder. You will return home with new friends, new memories, and a piece of India held forever in your heart.
Come and see the real India with me — not from behind a bus window, but face to face.
